Dick Pound and Morals

"The moral question is simple," Pound said. "It is one thing if you are
prepared to go physically endure the rigors of training at altitude. But to
be at sea level and climb into a tent and go to sleep pretending you're at
altitude, and getting the same result, is artificial."

What would he say about those who only sleep at real altitude but train low?

You can use an altitude tent but only if you also live at altitude.

He sounds a bit more professional and reasonable than usual.

I don't know what they are trying to accomplish with the tent ban. It would end
up doing nothing more than increase the geographic concentration of endurance
athletes in areas where live high train low is practical.

I think they should cover up the names on their skis.

You've got it all wrong. There much more $$$ in performance-enhancing drugs
than altitude tents. Dick Pound is obviously working hard to redirect people
back towards drug usage. It's all becoming clear now. Just like CSC hiring
an anti-drug doctor to make it appear their team is clean. Dick Pound is
actually making all those off-the-wall statements in an attempt to discredit
the anti-doping establishment.

He's on the take. No question about it.

We need to find out if Dickie boy has a prescription for any of those
altitude increasing love pills.

He must have, he's obviously got a hard on for dopers 24/7 and that'd
be tough naturally.

I think it's actually a psychological problem dating back to the 1960
Olympics.

Well, Marion Jones bent his johnson for him.

There is hope. Landis' case is pending. Another imperfect test? Two,
right close together, and for different substances?

How many readers did this "A" sample positive require, again? Or did
they just pay the Hamilton guy, in front this time? --D-y

Life in the 21st century is artificial for most members of any
"civilized" societies. Taking vitamins is artificial, buying food in a
grocery store is artificial, sleeping indoors and _not_ in a tent is
artificial.

Conclusion - we should all sleep in tents or consider ourselves
"artificial."
